In recent years the continuing development of 3D rendering
software has begun to take the art of producing architectural
renderings closer to the "holy grail" of this discipline…. the
photographic 3D rendering.

The project chosen to test out our new software's capabilities
was a concept still in development for a new residence in
Queenstown.

The backgrounds in each image are the only elements that are
real. Everything else within the images including the trees and
bushes are 3D models.

The 3D objects that make up the pergola are actually perfectly
square but look to have deep grooves in them. Obviously modelling
grooves in the beams would be impractical and very difficult so the
software uses a texture or image to define the geometric detail of
a surface by raising or dropping the 3D surface. The
same technique is used in the grass and the stone in these
images.
